You can get the Osrams off eBay for dirt cheap and they actually improve light output a lot
Are you talking about the Osram Night Breaker Unlimited?
I'm thinking about upgrading my high beams.
I saw you've been using it for high beam on the kiz and also as low beam in ur other cars. But has anyone actually used it as low beam on the kiz? Call me paranoid but I am just scared of breaking something by going to a dif watt. Any experience with other bulbs like phlips or the non rallye osram like nightbreaker?
What tools do I really need to remove the bumper (not to install HID) so i can go borrow it. Seems i need a L-shape screw driver for the wheel side screws?

A ramp to drive the car up on is recommended. If you want the most low tech way, (if I recall correctly) you can remove the whole thing with just a screwdriver and flat head (for tabs).
A 10mm ratchet should speed up the process a little.
EDIT: I used a straight screw driver for the wheel side screws but it's possible for the screw to fall into the inner bumper. If your screwdriver has a magnetic tip, you should be fine though, just remove the last bit slowly, same with putting it back in.

You're paranoid
The increase of 10w only increases current by 760mA. Your phone charger draws more current

I bought an impact driver just for the Kizashi. Way. Too. Many. Bolts!
